Analysis of Estella.

Estella - 

Estella - Estella is an orphan who's was taken in by Miss Havisham. She undermines the notion of romantic love and serves a bitter criticism against the class system. Raised by Miss Havisham to torment men with her good locks and to break boys hearts. She is admired deeply by Pip and wins his love however Estella is cold, heartless cynical and manipulative. She is victimised by her adopted class. Miss Havisham has made Estella emotionless and has no interaction with the outside world.  She firstly marries a cruel nobleman Drummle who treated her harshly and makes her life miserable for many years. I feel within this book Dickens shows class and money doesn't buy happiness and if she was poor she many have been better off and living a much more happier lifestyle.

Although Estella is cold and heartless Dickens also shows that she has a sympathetic side by showing the struggle between her personal life. By finding it hard to show feelings from her upbringing. She hurts Pip several times however does not want to intentionally hurt him. She wants him that she has 'no heart' and says that leaving her behind will leave him to find happiness. In the end of the book you see Etella become who she really is as she begins to trust and begins to carry emotions. In the final scene Estella says '“Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching. . . . I have been bent and broken, but, I hope, into a better shape.”

For my final Estella design i plan to do her hair in a elegant and beautiful way. By creating an up do with many flowers around the curls at the back of the head. Her makeup will be very natural with a light coverage of foundation, and natural eye shadow with blusher and bronzer to soften the face.
